Virgin Of Light Lyrics - Garzilli Enrico

Archbishop 

Peter Abelard, I have summoned you here to respond to Canon 

Fulbert's charges 

He accuses you of 

Blasphemy and heresy 

Fulbert 

And lechery with my niece 

Archbishop 

That's past, Fulbert 

They're married now 

Though they choose to live apart 

He can't deny 

They're married now 

Fulbert 

It's lechery with my niece 

Archbishop 

What else, Fulbert? What else? 

Fulbert 

He called the Holy Mother religion ... 

Archbishop 

A what, Fulbert? 

Fulbert 

He called the Holy Mother religion a ... 

Archbishop 

A what, Fulbert? 

Fulbert 

A whore, Archbishop. A whore! 

Archbishop 

Did you? Well, did you? 

Abelard 

I saw a virgin of light 

A celestial, beautiful bride 

Stained and abused in the night 

By her many lovers 

Who are people like you, Archbishop 

You parade around in silk and ermine, turning your eyes from the 

naked in the street, turning your noses from the stench of their sores 

while you perfume your bodies with oriental incense, while you erect 

vast treasuries in your banks, and lie, and lie, and lie! It is you who 

abuse the virgin of light and turn her into a whore! 

Whispers 

Heresy, blasphemy, lechery 

Abelard 

I saw a virgin of light 

A celestial, beautiful bride
